Who would you vote for over Trump?

In this scenario, you MUST vote (or choose death) and you only have two choices - Trump or the person listed. I'd vote for ALL of them except Palin over Trump (in that matchup of brain trusts, I'd choose death). I never thought I'd hate a politician more than GWB - congrats, Trump, I guess. You are the WORST.

GWB might be the more dangerous because (a) Cheney, and (b) he had the support and cooperation of virtually all the Republicans in congress. Trump will have neither of those things.

What it comes down to for me is that I trust GWB with the nuclear launch codes more than I do Trump (same argument for Palin. She is totally unstable).

I am very proud of our party tonight. This convention has shown to all America a party united, with positive programs for solving the nation's problems; a party ready to build a new consensus with all those across the land who share a community of values embodied in these words: family, work, neighborhood, peace and freedom.

I know we have had a quarrel or two, but only as to the method of attaining a goal. There was no argument about the goal. As president, I will establish a liaison with the 50 governors to encourage them to eliminate, where it exists, discrimination against women. I will monitor federal laws to insure their implementation and to add statutes if they are needed.

More than anything else, I want my candidacy to unify our country; to renew the American spirit and sense of purpose. I want to carry our message to every American, regardless of party affiliation, who is a member of this community of shared values.

He also quoted FDR.

Not death but perhaps anarchy over any revisits of the past and future horror presented in the poll
